Support Content Translation

Customer service takes on even greater importance when entering foreign markets. Translating support content helps growing businesses provide new customers with access to the answers they need to become long-term users and loyal advocates.

Support Content Supports Growth

Product descriptions, pricing pages, and checkout processes are always among the first assets to be tapped for translation when doing content localization for an international audience. Interested prospects need a clear path to purchase, after all. Once these commercial necessities have been addressed, however, savvy companies start thinking about what content awaits customers on the other side of their initial transaction.

Early adopters in any market will inevitably have questions, and leaving these crucial allies without access to native-language support content raises several risks.

Proactively translating support content, by contrast, creates an opportunity for a virtuous cycle.

Eager new customers are empowered to independently solve their confusion or frustration. These increasingly educated customers start enjoying the full benefits of the product or service. Those rewarding interactions then inspire customers to become brand advocates, sharing positive feedback throughout their local network.

As a result, new brands are soon interacting with a steady stream of optimistic, well-informed prospects and customers.
